I'm a verbal thinker, I read really fast, I learn best by reading, my SAT verbal score was higher than my math score.
I think I'm missing a fair amount of knowledge and/or other types of intelligence compared to the median poster here but I can make up for it with linguistic magic.
It definitely would be useful if I could learn how to think more visually...
It is possible, but very hard, to train yourself to think in a different mode at least some of the time. If you want to learn to think more visually, you can.
I googled for "visual thinking training" and the first link took me to my favorite internet crackpot, Win Wenger. Dude's awesome. I might actually start trying his suggestion to do underwater held-breath swimming.
